It was my first time to visit the beach in Adelaide. The dusk made me feel particularly comfortable, peaceful, with clear water and fine sand. I happened to hear a group of students practicing surfing. Although the waves in Adelaide are not as strong as those in the Gold Coast, the students continued to strive to climb out to the horizon, going back and forth again and again, showing their perseverance.

#vianasjourney It’s a good weather to visit the beach today. Took a free tram to Glenelg Beach from Stamford Plaza. I said free because according to the staff at the station, they won’t charge you if you come back in less than 2 hours. The area doesn’t look like how it used to be. Last time there were many colourful tents on the beach side and there’s also a ferris wheels which looks amazingly beautiful during sunset. I’ve asked a local and she said it was there in summer and they removed it in winter. Guess I better come during summer next time. But still, it’s a nice visit, also it’s free ride.

Transportation Tips - Tram Glenelg Line 🚊 Local attractions - Ferris wheel/beach 🏖️ Food & Drinks - Many restaurants eateries and retail shops along the seaside The transportation is very convenient, just take a tram or a bus and you will be there immediately After you get off the bus, you will have a beautiful view of the sunset🌅 Then there are many shops next to it to attract you to walk all the way Buy something to eat and go to the beach to sit and watch the sunset is really good and relaxing The beach is very clean, there is no garbage and there is a volleyball net for everyone to play volleyball🏐

Glenelg Beach is a MUST visit in ADL. it’s a perfect get away from the city. it’s located 30-40 min tram ride away from the city. Now that it’s summer in the Aus it would be perfect to visit the beach and have a picnic 🧺 or swim in the ocean 🦈 The beach does get quite busy during the day so preferably going there in the afternoon closer to the evening would be a better idea if you wouldn’t want to burn your skin. There’s also a Lott of nice restaurants and cafes that are worth visiting. 🌊👙☀️⛱️🏖️🏝️🩳🐚🩱 #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers #beachlife

i know this was a few months ago, but it was one of the highlights of my lastest trip in adelaide so ofc i want to talk abt it. my bestie, her family and i, decided to go counting down at glenelg beach. it was my first time there and it will prob be one of my fave beaches from now on. because there were 2 rounds, we went to the one at 9:30pm so that we could get home a bit early. at first i wasn’t expecting to get to watch the sunset as well, which i did at the end because we arrived there around 7 and girl, it was literally one of the prettiest i’ve seen ever!! the photos didn’t capture a single bit lol just keep in mine that i was too busy enjoying the moment and didn’t even bother caring abt the pics

#January Good Places 2025 **Glenelg Beach** Access: About 20 minutes by tram from the city center. What to do: It is one of the most popular beaches in Adelaide, with beautiful sand, clear water and fine sand, and plenty of seaside restaurants and shops. Feelings: It feels very romantic to come here at dusk to watch the sunset and to have some water activities, which is great for the whole family.

What’s better than visit a beautiful beach during the summer! Our joinery start with the iconic tram ride from Adelaide CBD and it took us about 30mins to reach. The tram ride is free for those boarding in CBD and all the way to Glenelg. Upon arrival, you will welcome by the big ferris wheel just next to the beach and also an historical building - Glenelg town hall. The beach is very happening with full of swimmers who enjoy the summer. Besides the beach, we walk along the Jetty Road, offers wide selection of restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Glenelg beach is also famous with the beautiful sunset but we didn’t stay long enough for the sunset. We will visit again soon in the evening to watch the sunset. 📍Address: Glenelg Beach #australiatrip #100waysoftravel #beachlife #glenelg #adelaide

Glenelg Beach📍 ———2 hours———📍Grange Beach This 2 hour trail walk is honestly so therapeutic and quite busy with so many families (but maybe this is just cuz it’s a Sunday). 🧑🧑🧒🧒 Overall this walk is very simple and nice. So many nice spots that are on this trail. 🚶♀️ Definitely don’t forget to bring water 💦 SPF 🧴 cap 🧢 and sunnies 🕶️ since there is not much coverage and the Australian sun is pretty strong ☀️ #walk #hiking #adelaide #trail #localguides #mytravelhacks

2024 is definitely all about the healthy girl walk era. This trail walk is from Henley Beach all the way to Grange Beach 🏖️ in Adelaide and honestly it’s the most beautiful trail that I’ve been on it was super stunning. I think the trail goes all the way down to Glenelg beach as well, but I haven’t been on it yet. This walk just made me so mesmerized by every single spot that I’ve seen. especially since I went there more towards sunset around 4/5pm. To basically describe of how pretty it is on the walk is that I was just constantly taking pictures of everything and it just turned out amazing and breathtaking. 🤳 #Adelaide #Beach #sea #trail

#australiatrip Glenelg Beach is basically my happy place! The sandy shores, the chill vibes - it's a 5-star escape right in Adelaide's backyard. I love how there's room for everyone to spread out, whether you're into building sandcastles, catching waves, or just catching some rays. Jetty Road is like the cool neighbor of the beach. Shops, cafes - it's the perfect spot to grab a snack or a cute souvenir after you've had your fill of sun and sea. Bonus points for how clean and well-kept everything is. No beach day drama here!

There is nothing better than relaxing your body and mind when traveling. Glenelg is a great place for sunshine and beaches when visiting Adelaide, South Australia. Sit at a nearby light snack bar for snacks or lunch and enjoy the scenery while eating. In Glenelg, there is a beautiful building ~ Glenelg Visitor Information Centre, which gives a better understanding of this place in Glenelg, and the staff is very friendly, so it is worth going in. #Glenelg #Adelaide

❄️When the little potatoes in the south are shivering and rushing to the north for the winter, South Australia at the other end of the earth is enjoying a leisurely summer on the coconut coast🌊 South Australia has a coastline of up to 3700 kilometers. Here, going out to sea to embrace nature is the correct travel posture🧳. There are many experiences to explore the underwater world, such as ocean cruises, whale watching and diving with great white sharks, etc. I have sorted out several ways to play and corresponding locations for everyone, choose a holiday to feel the charm of South Australia! 🐬Watch dolphins: 📍Glenelg Beach Glenelg Beach is one of the most popular beach resorts in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. In addition to lazily enjoying the sun and sea breeze, you can also board the Temptation🚢 and participate in various experiences of Temptation Sailing to start a magical journey! There are more than 1,000 bottlenose dolphins living in the waters of Glenelg Beach. The sun shines on the sea, reflecting the rippling sea water, it is the time to watch dolphins.

From June to September, South Australia is in the autumn and winter season. As the temperature drops, large southern right whales and humpback whales will migrate to the waters of the Fleurieu Peninsula, which also attracts many whale watchers. If you want to watch whales up close, you can choose to take the Big Duck Boat out to sea🚤. The staff will lead everyone through the shallow sea breeding area to watch southern right whales and humpback whales. 🦈Dive with great white sharks: 📍Port Lincoln If you are more courageous, would you like to try diving with sharks? Come to 📍Port Lincoln, put on a diving suit, stay in a shark cage and dive to a certain depth, you will have the chance to encounter great white sharks. In addition to great white sharks, you can also swim underwater with happy and lively little sea lions. They will generously show you flexible and diverse swimming postures. 🎏Anyways, no matter where you are doing marine sightseeing activities, we should always maintain awe of nature. What we can do is to observe the living conditions of wild animals, not disturb or interfere, and should not expect them to perform for us. Also, remember not to apply chemical sunscreen when you go into the water.

Moseley square Glenelg, jump on the Ferris wheel and see the whole of jetty road light up, go for a swim or just enjoy the sand between your toes.

#Overseas travel #Adelaide #Glenelg 🇦🇺 Glenelg, Adelaide, South Australia ⛱️🏖 Glenelg Beach and Glenelg Pier If you take a tram from Adelaide City in South Australia for 30 minutes, you will arrive at the Glenelg area. Glenelg Beach is located due west, so the sunset is beautiful. I checked the sunset time in advance and went there first to wait until sunset. The sun was really red right before sunset, and the sunset beyond Glenelg Pier was enchanting. I think watching the Glenelg sunset is a must-see on your trip to Adelaide. End the day by watching the sunset while listening to the cool scent and sounds of the ocean 🧡

Beautiful 😍

Long long time I have not experienced the relax at the beach! Eating the oysters, prawn twists with my almont latte... It is such a wonderful moment to spend with my God mum.
